8 Things You Didn’t Know About Strawberries

Dec 11, 2017

In developing our recipe for Agua de Fresa, we dedicated several hours to researching everything we could about the strawberry fruit and its relevant history. Over the course of our research, we found quite a few things we didn’t know about strawberries. We’d like to share some of the more interesting Strawberry facts:

1) In Ancient Rome, Apuleius wrote that the entire strawberry plant was eaten to treat depressive illness

2) The strawberry likely got its name from the Anglo-Saxons, who saw how the runners strew away from the mother plant.
